Death of Jean Baptiste Rateau. - Jean Baptiste Rateau, a native of France, but a 
resident of this parish for nearly half a century, died at his home on the west 
bank of the Mississippi river, about two miles below Donaldsonville, at midnight 
of Wednesday, the 15th inst., aged eighty-two years. The funeral took place at 4 
o'clock p. m. Thursday, interment being made in the local Catholic cemetery 
after services at the Church of the Sacred Heart. Mr. Rateau was engaged in the 
mercantile business in the fourth ward of this parish for upwards of forty-five 
years, retiring about eight years ago. He enjoyed the esteem and respect of all 
with whom he came into contact, and the announcement of his demise was received 
with genuine sorrow among his wide circle of friends and acquaintances in this 
community and elsewhere. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. P. A. LeBlanc of 
New Orleans, to whom sincere sympathy is extended.
